Every week I enjoy these links (as well as your other posts), and it's time to say "thank you" for making Sunday mornings a treat. I am amazed that you took the time and trouble to produce this weeks links after all the disruption caused by the storm. It's much appreciated.

Many thanks for your kind words - which I'll in turn share with the other writers and historians who so generously share their work by way of blogs, web sites, and Twitter. The internet is an endless marvel of information, isn't it? :)

Shelley, I'm afraid I don't have control of the opening-tab feature. The links will open in the manner your browser decides. Poke around in your settings - you can probably find the option there, as Nightsmusic suggests.

A Polite Explanation

There’s a big difference in how we use history. But we’re equally nuts about it. To us, the everyday details of life in the past are things to talk about, ponder, make fun of -- much in the way normal people talk about their favorite reality show.

We talk about who’s wearing what and who’s sleeping with whom. We try to sort out rumor or myth from fact. We thought there must be at least three other people out there who think history’s fascinating and fun, too. This blog is for them.
